No. I would say that's exactly how it happens.
I think the important thing to note, too, is that there is the ability for restitution on behalf of the courts. It was something that we did manage to get updated back in the mid-2000s. There is a huge weight of cost, time and emotional effort that humane societies and SPCAs take on in rehabilitating animals, particularly for large seizures such as you would get at an animal-fighting ring.
